Alumni
We are committed to enhancing your relationship with our Department, our current students, and your fellow alumni. Contact with old classmates, keep up with the goings-on of the ECE Department, find out how to network with others in your profession, and learn how to lend your support towards the ECE students, faculty and staff.
ECE Alumni Mentoring Program
Each semester, ECE Alumni are paired with either a Graduate or Undergraduate student and asked to meet for one hour, once a month. Matches are made based on a number of things, including hobbies and student/mentor industry interests. This mentoring program gives an opportunity for Alumni to connect with ECE students in a way to share experiences and help students broaden their professional network.
Applications are accepted year-round.
Alumni Conversations
Are you interested in connecting with students and other Alumni? The ECE Department is looking for Alumni to participate with Conversations with Alumni – a new speaker series where current students and other Alumni are given the opportunity to hear from you! Share stories, experiences, and provide advice for both current students and alumni.
If interested, please fill out the interest form, and our Alumni Relations and Event Specialist will be in contact with you.
